2. Miracle fruit
This fruit, which is appropriately named “miracle fruit”, is an extremely strange fruit. When eaten, it causes sour foods, like vinegar, lemon and lime, to taste sweet. This strange effect is because of “miraculin”, which is a glycoprotein module that binds to the tongue’s taste buds and alters your taste. The effect lasts up to 30 minutes.
